"Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to see Donald Trump become the next president of the United States. To that end, Putin and his government have taken unprecedented steps to influence our electoral process to help the Republican Party’s nominee. Whether Russia’s interventions will succeed is not obvious. But it’s clear that Putin’s government has the motives — and the means — to try."

"Trump advocates isolationist policies and an abdication of U.S. leadership in the world. He cares little about promoting democracy and human rights. A U.S. retreat from global affairs fits precisely with Putin’s international interests."

desertmuscl saidThis would be as opposed to a candidate who can probably be blackmailed with whatever is in those emails and is owned by Wall Street...

Your argument falls apart.You're asking us to imagine terrible things that Hillary might do if she could be blackmailed.

Your problem is that Trump is clearly telling us the terrible things that HE PLANS TO DO for Putin's benefit, no blackmail required!

What Trump plans to do for this country is not terrible and in fact it is long overdue. We need to stop worrying about the rest of the world and start solving the serious problems in our own country. It has nothing to do with Putin. It is time to put America first and let the rest of the world fend for itself.
